The Way It Was Meant To Be (PG/PG-13) -Clana

[LuvClana]

Spoilers: Just through Season 3 Ep 16:)
Disclaimers: I don't own anything like Smallville and all that other Disclaimer jargon -heehee-
Summary: OK so this fan fic takes place at the end of Crisis so the beging chapter or two are the end of crisis but soon you'll see a bit of change :)

This is my first ever fanfic so be truthful with your responces. I'm hoping it'll be long if its well-liked. :)

Chapter 1: A Race Against Time

Lanas heart was racing. She couldn't stop pacing around the Kents kitchen eager to hear the score of the Vipers/Sharks football game. Chloe had left a little over an hour ago so it was just Lana and Mr. Kent.

"Don't worry Lana", Mr. Kent keep trying to comfort her. "We won't let anything happen to you. We have the advantage here." His smile was sincere but deep inside he was scared. Lana had become almost like a duaghter to him and he would never forgive himself if anything were to happen to her. He held his fully loaded rifle in his hand and it was all he had to protect her. If Adam came along, he'd have to go through him, and Mr. Kent was ready to kick some living-dead butt!

"What's the score?" Lana asked, her voice shaky. Mr. Kent bent down to the radio on the kicten table. The rain was coming down harder now as if the cloud were raining bullets. Bullets , Lana thought. She shook it off. She felt safe with Mr. Kent but she was skeptic. She wished Clark was there. Why wasn't he back yet?

"Vipers are up by two" Mr. Kent answered. But he was sudenly interupted by a car horn honking twice. "That sounds like my truck" he said while looking out the window and gripping his rifle even tighter. He saw his truck parked in the drive way and Chloe sitting inside. Her hands we at her side. "Why isn't she coming in?" he wondered aloud. He turned to Lana while heading out the door. "I want you to lock the door behind me, alright." he said. Lana nodded as Mr. Kent headed out the front door and Lana frantically locked it.

"Mr. Kent! Please go inside!" Chloe shouted frantically but she couldn't be heards over the thunder and rain.

"Chloe?" Mr. Kent asked. "Whats the matter?" He came closer and closer to the truck. Lana was watching from the kitchen window. Chloe was trying to warn him but it was too late. Adam came out from behind the bushes and knocked Mr. Kent unconcious.

"No!" Chloe and Lana screamed at the same time. Adam looked up at Chloe with meanacing eyes. He violently opened the truck door and threw Chloe out onto the sidewalk and darkness consumed her. Adam then picked up Mr. Kents rifle and turned towards the small yellow farm house.

"Lana!" he shouted. Lanas heart was beating a mile a minute. "Lana, I know you're in there! And if you don't come out, I'll shoot your boyfriends father, then I'll move onto Chloe!" Lana knew what she had to do. She thought she may be able to take him in case of an emergancy, but the call kept playing into her head over and over again

You lied to me!!!! -gunshot-

She opened the door and stepped out into the rain.
"Adam! I'll do what ever you want just don't hurt them anymore!" She shouted as she walked towards Adam. He shoved her into the truck before he got in, started the engine, and drove away


------------------------------------

Clark was anxious to get home to protect Lana. "Look, sir, You're making a big mistake here! I really need to get home!" he said a little more feircely than intended.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are we keeping you from something?" The FBI agent asked. "Look son, your friend spent the past hour fessing up to his crime and we're not letting you go anywhere!" Clark came closer to the FBI agent threateningly.

"That's a lie! He hasn't confessed to anything! Your just telling me that for an excuss to keep me here. Have you called my parents yet?" The FBI agents expression turned from evil to question.

"Yea, no one has answered." he said.

"Don't you think the media will find it strange that a minor was being held against his will without his gardian?" he asked. The FBI agent knew he was right.

"Fine, but we'll be in touch Mr. Kent" he saide turning. As soon as he turned, Clark supersped to his house. Something weas wrong and he needed to find out what.

-----------------------
A/N: Ok so the script isn't exactly the Crisis script but its close enough for now :p Sorry if this update was a bit boring, you've all heard it before but I needed to get the mood going before I start my stuff ! :D Comments welcome.

[SmallvilleMan]

[Schfifty-five]

come on, keep going!!!

Chapter 2: Race Against Time (Continued)

Once Clark was in the Kicthen he knew what was wrong. His heart skipped a beat. Heck, it skipped two! His father was sitting at the kicthen table with ice on his head. Next to him were Mrs Kent. Lana was no where in sight. "Wheres Lana?" he asked quickly. He was all too sure he knew the answer.

"Adam took her" was all Mr. Kent could say. He sighed. He felt like he had let them all down. Guilt was hanging on his heart, but there wasn't anything he could do now.

Clark turned to leave. "Were are you going, son?" Mr. Kent asked. Clarked turned to face his father.

"To the youth center. All I know is that Lanas going to call there tonight." he said.

"But you've already heard the call, honey" His mother said.

"I know but maybe if I can figure out why the connection was so bad, I could stop it and ask Lana where she is." he said and without another word Clark supersped to the youth center.

Pete was pacing in the youth center waiting for that dreaded call to come in. He jumped when the phoone rang and reached for it. Clark instantly apeared holding the phone in his hand. Clark held the phone to his ear.

"Lana?" he asked hopefully turning on his superhearing. He could hear rain in the background and what sounded like a football game. 61-59, Vipers.

"Clark, it's happening!" she shouted. Clarks heart began to race.

"Lana, where are you!?" he asked. But there was no responce.

"Clark, help me please! He's got a gun!" Lana said, her voice shaky. The call was begining to lose connection. He needed to do something before it was too late. Clark x-rayed the room until he found his problem. A telephone pole was down. He sped outside.

"Lana?" he asked into the phone.

"Clark, help me!" she shouted. His heart was beating faster now. He couldn't let the girl he loved get hurt because of him; not again. He lifted the telephone lines up and the connection became yet again stable. He placed them down and the connection once again began to go out. He picked it up fast and held the phone to his ear.

"Lana, were are you!" he screamed into the phone hoping to get an answer this time.

"I'm at the home storage warehouse! Hurry please!" she shouted.

"You lied to me!!!" screamed the voice of a distressed Adam. A gunshot rung out and lingered in the air. In an instant Clark was halfway to the youth center. He made his way through the gate to where Lana was and stood infront of the bullet that was nearly on Lana now. He had run faster than he ever had before.

Clark jumped infront of Lana and shattered the bullet. But, at that moment, Lana tripped over her feet and spun around trying to catch her balance as she fell flat on her butt. What she saw was Clark standing in front of her. He had taken the bullet for her. Tears began to trickle down her face. Clark was going to de all because of her.

"No!!!!!" she shouted. But Clark lowered his arms and turned to face her, eyes wide. A small bullet sized hole was square in the middle of his cheast, but his skin was not damaged a bit. The only remain was the hole in his shirt.

"Oh my god..." Lana breathed

Chapter 3: The Price is Right!

Lex Luthor took a sip of his scotch as he stared at the paper work in front of him. He knew his spys would get him something good, but this was more than he could bargain for. He pressed a button on the phone in front of him and waited.

"Yes Mr. Luthor?" asked a voice.

"Get Mathews on the phone" he said.

"Right away, sir" A few seconds later he heard a mans shaky voice.

"Mr. Luthor" it said. "What a pleasant surprise." he said. In fact, it was just the opposite. No surprise. Not at all pleasant!

"I must admit, Mathews. You were right." He said.

"I said at the beggining that my men were the best of the best" he said, not sure of where the conversation was going.

"Well, your evidence was very ... shall I say ... intriguing" Lex concluded.

"Sir, if I may ask, what is your intrest in this Kansas farm boy?" As soon as he said it, he wished he hadn't.

Lex thought a moment before speaking. "Mathews, get us a car and meet me at the front gate in ten minutes. We're going to Metropolis"

------------------------------------



The Kents farm truck pulled up into the drive way. Jonathon and Martha Kent had been worried out of their minds and jumped up at the familiar sound. They exited the house hopfully and ran towards the car. Clark got out of the drivers side just as Lana got out of the passenger side.

"Oh thank god!" Martha exclaimed pulling Lana into a tight hug. Lana looked very shaken but nobody blamed her after the ordeal she went through. Jonathon gave Lana a hug and sighed with releif.

"We were so worried" he said. "Lets get you both inside now. You're soaking wet!" he said. The four of them retreated to the warmth of the Kent kitchen. Martha handed Lana a cup of coffee, but she didn't drink any. They sat at the kitchen table; Martha and Jonathon looking back and forth between Clark and Lana while The other two avoided contact with anyone.

"Whats going on?" asked Jonathon a little more feircly than he had intended to. Lana opened her mouth to speak but she was interupted by Clark.

"Mom, Dad" he said looking up at them for the first time. He hesitated a moment before starting. "Lana .... saw" he said sighing. Lana was more confused then ever. She had saw something! but what was it? How could she explain it.

"What do you mean by saw?" Martha asked too sure of what the answer was.

Now it was Clarks turn to do the talking and it wasn't going to be pretty.

[Cardinal]

Dang! From one cliffie to the next. You're gonna fit in well here. Heh! This next scene really oughta be a doozy, with Clark trying to explain, his parents being upset about it, and Lana being confused and, maybe, a little upset.

Bring it on!!!

[MOOman0618]

Keep going! You can't stop there! I want to see what they tell Lana!

[LuvClana]

A/N: Thanks so much for the comments all :D Heres the next post. And don't worry, it's a long one complete with a cliffie! Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Passing

A small man exited his car and straightened his tie. He cleared his throught and started towards his destination. Fear ran through him like the blood that ran in his veins. His mind was buzzing with what to say, what to do, and how to do it.

He walked through the tall black gates that had an exquisit silver AL written into it. He cleared his throught once again as he came face to face with none other than Lex Luthor.

"Hello, Mathews" he said with a smirk smile on his face. He stepped one step closer to him. Mathews could small a hint of scotch on his breath. He'd better stay on the safe side today.

"H-Hello, Mr. Luthor" he said trying not to studder. "The car is just passed the gates" Lex nodded his head and began walking to the black limo that was parked in front of the Luthor Mansion. Lex let him self into the limo and helped himself to a glass of wine.

"Don Perignon" he said while talking a sip. "I expected Manicheivitz" Mathews didn't take the beating. When this happened he knew all was going well.

"Only the best for you, sir" he said, trying to be one step ahead of the game. Lex wouldn't have it.

"We arn't here to talk wine, now are we. We're here to talk bussiness" Lex put down his wine and pulled a manila folder out of his breif case. "These pictures are amazing" Lex said while flipping through the batch. "Hard, to find them beleivable" Mathews heart skipped a beat.

"I assure you Mr. Luthor, these pictures are genuine." he said while whipping his brow. Lex noticed this and took it as a good thing.

"I know" Lex said. "I beleive you."

----------------------------------------------

"She saw" Clark repeated. "...me" He looked back down at his hands on the table, afraid of what the next move was going to be.

"Son, I sure hope you're talking about in the truck" his father said. But he knew very well that wasn't what he meant.

"No, Dad. She saw me .." he hesitated before finishing. "Take the bullet" he finished.

Lanas eyes were moving all around the room. She felt dizzy and confused. Is that was she saw; Clark take a bullet? Thats what she thought happened, but she must be going crazy. How could Clark have taken the bullet, he was sitting right in front of her. I must be dreaming she thought. This is all a bad dream. I'll wake tomorrow and everything will be fine. Clark didn't take a bullet for me. But deep down inside, she knew that she was wrong.

"Clark, how could you let this happen?" he mother asked. A million thoughts were going through her head. They had always been so carefull.

"Look, I heard Adam fire a bullet at the youth center, so I speed off to the home storage center and blocked the bullet right before it hit Lana. I had to save her!" Clark said. He felt a bit guilty that he almost was happy in happened. He had an excuss to tell her now. But, she may not accept him. The thought dwelled on him for a long time.

Lanas mind jumped at this. Clark had heard the gun shot and the youth center?! How was it possible! It took her and Adam fifteen minutes to drive to the storage unit. She felt like she was going to faint. The dizziness was taking over. Tears were swelling up in her eyes. She didn't know how long she could take it.

"Clark, what are we going to do. Tell her?" Martha asked.

Tell her? Lana thought. Tell me what? She couldn't take the talking anymore.

"Of course we can't, Martha" Mr. Kent answered. Lana looked up at them.

"Can you please stop talking about me as if I'm not here?" she asked loudly. It was the first time she'd spoken since they got home. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Lana.

"Sorry" Clark said softly. He was the only one who had to be worried here.

"Look, I don't know what I saw .. but I know it wasn't normal" Clark winced at these words. "I just want to know whats going on" she finished. Clark looked into her eyes. He saw trust. He knew he could trust her with his secret. But he didn't know what she'd take of it.

"Lana, you'll find out, I promise" Clark said. "But I need to ask you a question first." Lana nodded in acceptance and awaited her question.

"Do you trust me?"

[MOOman0618]

NO MORE COVERUPS!!

But what is Lex up to? I don't think I like what he is doing!

[binkys711]

yay! can't wait to see how Lana takes it!:D and what is Lex up to?PPMS!!!

[EyeluvTom]

That was an awesome, can't wait for more!! ;)

[LuvClana]

[LuvClana]

A/N: As promsied, here is the next chapter. Sad to say, this story isn't Clana yet, but it will be in this post. TRUST me :p Not much of a cliffie though. Enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 5: The Heart in You

Lana was lost in those eyes. There was nothing she could do when this happened, and this ALWAYS happened. She wouldn't move, wouldn't breathe, wouldn't speak until she broke her gaze. But she couldn't. She never could. It was so odd that she could do this to her. It wasn't the 'Kent charm' and it wasn't his look. Ok well was the look. It was mostly the look. But there was something else there. It was the heart in him.

"Yes" Lana said slowly nodding. She was sure. No matter what he said tonight, that would never change. "I do". She wanted to stay there staring at him for ever. She wouldn't mind it one bit. But he broke the gaze and looked at his mother leaving Lana looking very stupid for a moment staring at his right ear.

"Mom, I have to tell her" he said. "Now" His parents understood. The only skeptisim they had was for Lanas welfare. They nodded and got up.

"Don't bother" Clark said stopping them. "We'll go to the loft. Its easier to think their" Clark stood up motioning for Lana to follow him.

How would he start? 'Lana, I'm an alien?' Yea right! 'Lana, I'm a freak! . He wasn't a freak. He was sure he wasn't .. was he? What ever Lana thought, he'd beleive. If she said he was a freak, he'd beleive her. He'd be a freak. On the short walk to the loft Clark began to have a scary daynightmare.

Lana: What?

Clark: Lana, please don't be afraid of me. I didn't mean to. If I could take back my every existance I would, just so you'd be happy.

Lana: Afraid of you? How could I be afraid of you? You're a FREAK! You killed my parents. I will never forgive you.

Clark: Lana please, I would die for you to be happy. I love you.

Lana: Why don't you then? -Lana pulls out a meteor rock-

Clark: Lana please!

Woa, Clark had had too much Caffine. That couldn't happen. Clark told him self that, but he wasn't so sure. He walked up to the loft followed by Lana. Lanas mind hadn't calmed down since 7:15. It was now ten! Her heart was pounding. Her eyes were watery and she was breathing heavily.

"Why don't you sit down" Clark said. Lana shook her head.

"Can I stand?" she asked.

"Sure" but you're probably going to want to sit down once we begin, this will take a while" He began. "I hope" Clark was pacing now. "I don't know where to start" he said.

"Clark, calm down. You're maing me even more nervious" she let out a small laugh but it wasn't sincere.

"Lana, I want you to know that whatever your reaction to this is, no matter if this is the last time we ever speak, my feelings will never change. I will always love you" Lana was surprised by this reaction. Clark loved her? Why did he push her away? But it didn't matter, he loved her! That was all she cared about now. And she loved him too.

"I love you too" Lana breathed. Lana smiled a bit, but Clark was serious. He nodded and opened his mouth to begin.

"Lana, I'm not like other people" he began. "I have a secret, one that you know as being 'secrets'. But its really one BIG secret." Lana nodded and motioned for him to begin. "There are two big sections of my secret. One is the one I know you'd be okay with. But the other..."

"Clark, its ok." she said.

"I can do some things that no other person on this earth can" Clark continued wiping his brow. "It's not 'normal' as you said before. But it's who I am. It's who I've always been." With that he super-sped next to her. Lana took a step back from him.

"Clark..." she said speechless. Clark was terrified. She didn't accept him. He knew it. He was about to turn to leave when she opened her mouth. "...that was amazing!" Clark gave off the biggest smile he'd ever had.

"But.. but.. how?" she asked. "I mean, it explains a lot but ... its impossible!" Clark shook his head.

"Appearantly not" Clark said. Lana sat down on the couch.

"You were right. I should have sat" Lana said still confused.

"Theres more. Lana, I've barely just begun to enter the depths of 'The Mystery that is Clark Kent'" Lana looked into his eyes.

"Good" she said.

---------------------------

Meanwhile, Lex and his colleague were having a wonderful chat. A plan was formulating in his head, and it would mean trouble; a lot of it.

[binkys711]

ohhhhh!!!i can't wait to hear what the next story is about:D awesome update! PPMS!!!:D

[LuvClana]

A/N: Enjoy this chapter. Its a very interesting one :p

Chapter 6:

Chloe Sullivan had been informed just an hour ago that her best friend was safe and sound. With all the worry and fear expelled from her system, she set to work on the Torch, her beloved school news paper. Besides the usuall articles on meter freaks and castaways, she had a new type of freak on her hands...and his name was Lionel Luthor.

Chloe had been researching a secret project going on in Luthorcorp for a month now and just needed some finishing touches to complete her story. But this story was not for the Torch; this was going right to the desk of the editor of the Daily Planet. She sat down into her chair and typed in her password. With a click or two she opened a word document to finish off her story, but instead of her story, the page read 'Enjoy bringing me down, Miss Sullivan? Don't get used to it' -LL

Chloes mouth hung open. How did he get into her computer file. How did he know? He months work, the story was gone! She couldn'y beleive it. Grief hung over her like never before. She stood up, grabbed he purse, and ran for her red bug.

------------------------

Lana was still shaken about the powers she saw Clark display. She accepted him, but she still couldn't beleive it. "Um, Clark" she began. "What more is there? I mean, speed and apparently you're ... well ... you're b-bulletproof, right?" Clark nodded. Thats all right. She sighed of releife when he said that. She never had to worry, Van McNulty was right!

"Theres more I can do, though." he said sitting back down next to Lana. "About a month ago, I got a new ability. When I became blind, my body began compinsating for its lack of sight and I began to be able to hear things very far away ... like when I heard you crying in the car" he said, not sure if being truthful about that was the right thing to do. Lana looked up in shock.

"You heard that?" she asked. Clark nodded as Lana gave out a bit of a laugh. "I feel really stupid thinking about Adam like that now ... or should I say Chad Nash" she half-smiled.

"Yea, that was a bit of a shocker" Clark said smiling. "So ability number four is a neat one. It probably no surprise to you. Follow me" he said getting up and walking outside. Lana obeyed and followed him to see he eyeing the tractor. He walked over to it a hurled it twenty feet in the air, then spun to the other side of the feild and caught it.

"Holy crap..." Lana said eyes wide. Clark smiled.

"I've never heard you curse before!" he said.

"I've never seen you throw a tractor before!" she said, not kidding. Clark was a pretty happy guys right now.

"Only two abilities left, since you've seen strength, speed, hearing, and that I'm bulletproof" he said. Martha shook her head as her glaned across the feild. 'He's such a show-off' she said to her self laughing.

"OK, so both of the new ones involve my eyes. But they were both developed at different times. So, I'll start with heat-vision" Clark said. Heat vision?!? Lanas mind was about to explode. She was speechless. Clark glanced at a bale of hay on the ground and in a second it burst into flames. "I'm not going to tell you how I got that one" he said blushing, but she peiced it together. She let out a small laugh. Clark then ran over and put the fire out with his hands. Lana still wasn't used to that yet.

"So, Mr. Amazing, whats ability #6?" Lana asked, eager to hear more.

"X-ray vision" Clark breathed. Lana took a step back and covered herself. Clarks cheeks turned the color of a sunset. "N-no, Lana. I never ... I ... I wouldn't e-ever!" he proclaimed. Lana gave him a light slap.

"You better not!" she laughed. She was begining to loosen up feeling more and more comfortable with Clark and his secret.

"So we conclude part one of the secret" he said, dead afraid of the next part to be told. He lead Lana back up to the loft. "Lana, this is the scary part, for you and for me" he said, not sure of where to go next.

"Well, you see Lana, I came to Smallville a little differently than most other children adopted that year"

---------------------------

Chloe slammed a file down on Lionel Luthors desk in LuthorCorp Plazza.

"What the hell is this?" she asked. Lionel turned around to face her.

"Oh, Miss Sullivan, how very nice to see you" he said putting down his scotch. "As I'm sure you are aware I do not enjoy leaks in this company, so I eliminate them" he said. "The people ... and the storys" he said smiling.

"Is that a threat?" Chloe asked feircely. Lionel let out a small menacing laugh.

"Follow me Miss Sullivan" Lionel got up and walked to the back of his office, he flipped a switch and a door opened up in the wall. Chloe reluctanly followed him into the room. When he flipped on the light Chloe could see that the floor, walls, and ceiling were completely covered with green rocks that looked oddly familiar.

"Meteor Rocks" she breathed. Lionel Laughed yet again.

"You catch on quickly, Miss Sullivan." he said. "Its another one of my curious projects" he continued. "I'm working on it with my son" he said looking knowingly and Chloe.

"Why are you telling me this?" Chloe asked with a look of question. Lionel paused a moment.

"No reason" he said picking his scotch back up and taking a sip.

"I trust you can show yourself out"

[Scotty]

Hmm, maybe Lionel made a trap for Clark?

[NYC300Z]

a trap for Clark how awful...but i'm still worried how Lana's going to react to part 2 of Clark's story!

Chapter 7: Great Escape

Clark was more nervious now than he had ever been in his entire life. His worst fear was and had always been Lana not accepting him; because he killed her parents. His heart wasn't giving him an slack either.

"What do you mean?" Lana asked.

"Well, I- What I mean to say is- I'm from...another planet" He finally got out. Lanas face turned from serious to smiles. She began to laugh.

"Haha. Real funny, Clark" she said with sarcasam. Her smile faded quickely. "You're not joking are you" she said slowly. Clark reluctanly shook his head.

"It was called Krypton" he said avoiding eye contact with her.

"Was?" Lana asked.

"The only reason I'm here now is because Krypton exploded. My biological father sent me here to protect me" Lana was having trouble beleiving this.

"So If you're an alien, why wouldn't I accept you?" Clark winced at the word alien.

"Thats not the bad part" Clark said. He decided to bring it up quickly and get it over with. "A spaceship landing in the middle of a feild wouldn't be ok" he began. "I needed cover so..." but Lana completed the sentance for him.

"You brought the meteor shower" she said quietly her eyes wide in shock. "But- but- you couldn't have! You, you were only a baby, right!?" she said.

"Technically my father brought it, but it was my fault. I've never been able to forgive myself for what I did to you" he said finally making eye contact with her.

"Clark, I'm a little upset that the meteor shower wasn't an accident. But, I don't blame you. But let me tell you, if I ever get a peice of your biological father, even though I can't because hes, well, gone, he'll have to deal with me." she said with a faint smile. Clarks heart opened up. She accepted him. It was okay! She accepted him!!

"Thats just the thing. His body is dead but his spirt lives on. I- I talk to him sometimes. For real, hes told me to do things I don't want to. He drove me to Metropolis because He said he'd hurt you and my parents, and everyone else I love. My dad talks to him sometimes too. Thats- thats why his heart is so weak" Lanas heart filled with anger. How could anyone be so cruel?

Lana reached over and pulled Clark into a tight embrace. "I've been waiting to hear the truth for years now, Clark. And now that I know, I understand why it was so hard for you to tell me. But, If anythings changed about our relationship, it's that its beter now. We can trust eachother now. More than we ever could before" Clark couldn't help but smile.

"There is one more part of my secret" he said. "Kryptonite, or meteor rocks as you call them, have an affect on me. There are three different types; red, black, and green. I'm sure you can guess what the red does" Clark said.

"Metropolis?" Lana asked.

"Yea. And when I asked you out and went home with Jessie. It makes me do things I would never do in real life. Its almost as if its a drug. I call myself Kal-El. My birth name, or-"

"Or Kal" Lana finished for him.

"Exactly. Black can drive Kal-El out of me, when I possesed by my father while you were in Paris" he said.

"Great. You possed by an extraterestrial and I'm possed by a sixteenth century witch. We're a great pair!" she laughed.

"Green meteor rocks are the worst by far. They-" Clark began. But he was cut off by a gunfire. The bullet bouced off of Clark an shattered. Lana screamed not remembering for a second that nothing would happen to him. A man with a black suit was in the loft.

"You're coming with me, Kent!" he said. "And your girlfriend too! Or I'll shoot her next!" The Man held out a very large meteor rock. "Get in the car!"

A/n: Here is the second to last chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 8: Great Escape Part 2

Clark awoke in the back of a limo, his mouth ties and a peice of meteor rock taped to his left arm. The pain was unbearable. He began to moan and tried to roll over. When he turned his head, he could see lana tied on the seat ahead of him. She had tears sparkling in her eyes and she was looking at Clark with concern. She wanted to take his pain away. She wanted nothing more than for him to be in no discomfort of any sort.

Clark looked into her eyes as if to say 'It's alright. Don't be scared'. Lana couldn't figure out how even in the amount of pain he was in, Clark still tried to make her feel safe. She always felt safe with Clark. As long as he was there, nothing could happen to her. The limo preceeded forward for another fifteen minutes until it came to an abrupt stop. Lanas eyes filled with fear as the door in the rear opened and she was dragged out onto the cold concreat floor.

Clarks door opened and he was pulled out onto the floor. He was dragged along the floor of what looked to be an alley way. Where they in Metropolis? Clarks eyes searched desprately for Lana. The man who had kidnapped them held Lana firmly in the corner. He looked at her distressed face and simply laughed. He wanted them to suffer. He longed for their pain.

"Good job, Smith" a voice emerged from the shadows. Lex walked closer and closer to Clark. "It's time for the quest to begin" he continued. He walked up to Clark and pulled his shirt up, bringing his face inches away from Clarks. He could feel Lex's breath on his cheek. "My father supplied me with what we need. It's your turn to suffer, Clark. Pain is something you don't experience much. Time for you to see what its like!" he spat and dropped Clark onto the floor. He then turned to Lana. "I want you to see him suffer. I want you to see this, Lana. You can't love him!

Lex motioned for a man to come to him. In his hands was a large barrel filled to the top with glowing green meteor rocks. Lana had never seen them glow before, but she knew what they were. Lex picked up a rock from the barel and gripped it in his fist which he shoved into Clarks stomach. Clark groans, blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth. Lana couldn't stand to see Clark in this much pain. Lex proceeded to cause pain to Clark in the same manner. Soon Clarks body was so crippled he could hardly stay conscience.

Lex laughed as he continued to punch Clark with the rock. Lana needed to do something to save him. She loved him. Lana waited until the man had loosened his grip on her and she kicked him hard in the stomach atempting to get away. But the man caught her hitting her across the face causeing her to slam into the wall. Lana slid down the wall to the floor, 'playing dead'. The man with the barrel spilled them all around Clarks body. Lex stood up and brushed his hands off. Just before he turned to leave he spat on Clarks body. Lex and his two companions entered the limo and drove away.

When Lana was sure the coast was clear, she rolled over and crawled to Clarks body. She needed to help him, he was in so much pain. She struggled to push all of the meteor rocks around him away from his body. She managed to get them all away from his body just as he closed his eyes. Lana was almost out. She had cuts strwn all across her face. She leaned on the wall behind her, Clarks head in her lap. Tear spilled from her eyes like a waterfall sliding down her nose and onto the top of Clarks head. She hated them for what they did to Clark. She wanted them to die for causing him so much pain.

As the sky slowly turned to dark, she stroked Clarks hair as she began to feel her eyelids become heavier. Soon sleep overcame her.

A/N: Ok so it's a bit greusome but it was needed for the plot. Final chapter tomorrow. It'll sum A LOT up. It'll be long too.

[NYC300Z]

Yeah I was just thinking that if this was the second to last chapter that the next chapter would have to be really long! Can't wait for tomorrow!!

[Kal-El & Me]

I keep finding all the good fics when they're almost over.
Can' wait to see the conclusion.

[LuvClana]

The final chapter will be posted in about an hour :D

Chapter 9: The Ties That Bind :p

Clark awoke to the soft patter of rain as each drop landed on the concreat floor next to him. He turned to see Lana head resting on his as she slept her pain away. Her face was lain with cuts and bruises, but she looked peacfull as she selpt still wearing Marthas sweater. That past few days had been dramatic for her; getting a call from a murdered Lana of the future, being chased and nearly shot by a crazy dead man, being told her boyfriend was an alien, and oh yea, being kidnapped for the second time in twenty-four hours. Welcome to the life of Lana Lang.

Clark didn't want to disturb her, but his head was resting on her lap. He needed to get her home and to safty. Lex would surly be after him again, so he'd need to think of a plan of action. The rest of their lives may be determined today, and they needed to get an early start. Clark gently removed his head from her lab and sat up as Lana began to open her eyes. Clark reached down and picked her up. When Lana opened her eyes, she noticed that all of Clarks cuts from the night before were gone. Her head hurt and her eyelids were heavly. Clark smiled at her.

"Go back to sleep" he said and as if on command she drifted back off to sleep. Clark looked both ways and used his speed to reach back to the Kent farm. He halted in the Kitchen to see his father pacing by the telephone and his mother sitting at the Kitchen table. When he appeared his mother rose from the table and ran to him.

"Oh, thank god!" she said. "Clark what happened?" Clark could see that her face was strewn with tears. Clark gently laid Lana down on the couch and turned to his mother.

"We were kidnapped" he hesitated as his mother gasped and turned to Jonathon. "By Lex" he said. Martha grabbed onto her husband. "Somehow he knew about my weakness and my abilities. He tried to kill me with Kryptonite" he turned to the sleeping Lana. "And if it weren't for Lana, he would've suceeded" he turn back to his parents.

"What are we going to do, Jonathon?" Martha asked desperately. Jonathon looked to Lana.

"Keep her safe" he said. "And Clark" he sighed. "Son, Lex is a real thret now. I don't know how we're going to keep him away from you" His mother began to cry again.

"Mom, Dad" Clark began. "Theres more. Lex said Lionel supplied him with the Kryptonite. I think he may know." The phone suddenly began to ring and Clark reached over to pick it up. "Hello?" he asked.

"Clark, its me, Chloe" Chloes voice could be heard from the toher line. "Look, Clark, can you meet me at the Torch? I have some serious news that may concern you." she said."Its about Lionel"

"I'll be right there" he said and hung the phone up. "Mom, Chloe has some news about Lionel Luthor. I have to meet her at the torch." he said. He looked at Lana.

"I can't beleive my secret has already caused her so much pain." he began. "I promise to make it better" he went over amd put a blanket on top of Lana before he super-sped to the Torch. Chloe was sitting at her computer.

"Wow, talk about speedy gonzalas!" she said as he walked in. Clark walked over to her screen.

"Whats the big news?" Clark asked her desperatly. Chloe turned to him.

"Yesterday, I went to see Lionel in Metropolis. He deleted my entire Enterprise story and replaced it with a nice little message" she said sarcastically. "He took me to this room to show me a 'secret project' that he and Lex were working on." she turned back to her computer. "I couldn't figure out why he was showing me this."

"What was it?" asked Clark.

"A room full of meteor rocks." she said. Clarks eyes widened. "There were a few boxes in the corner and it looked like they were being shipped somewhere. This morning I found this" she clicked on her screen and an article poped up. The headlines read 'Luthor Scandel: Police Hit Two Birds With One Stone'. She continued. "Clark, Lionel hasn't stopped trying to get me to research you again. He always acks a certain way when he threatens me and he acted that way last night."

"But what was the scandel?" he asked with a questioning look.

"Lionel was arrested today for a count of three hunded and seventy four stolen meteor rocks. Most of the rocks were found but the others are still missing." Clark new this was all making sence, just as Chloe was getting all the more confused.

"I wonder where the others are?" he said even though he knew perfectly well the answer to that question.

"Thats just it" she began. "Lionel claims that Lex has them. But they can't arrest Lex" Clark was confused now.

"Why not?" he asked. Chloe scrolled the article down on the page.

"Because Lex was sent to Belle Reive this morning. Thats the second bird. Apparently he was claiming Aliens exist and that he knew one!"

"Did he say who it was?" Clark asked urgently.

"No, he refuses to tell anyone. He says he wants to be the one to bring him down, not the government."

"Crazy" Clark said. Chloe just nodded. The Luthors needed some serious metal therepy, but luckily, Lex was going to get it.

-------------

Clark, Lana, Martha, and Jonathon sat at the kitchen table. The clock read eight and the sky was beggining to go from a blue to a dusty red.

"Lionel doesn't know" Clark said. "I'm sure of it. If he knew, he wouldn't hold back, and everyone would know the truth about Clark Kent." His mother was skeptic.

"We can't be sure of that. But Lionel won't be out of prison for at least a year. We'll have to untill then to come up with a plan for if he does know" she said. Lana had been so worried about Clark all day. What was going to happen to him?

"B-But Lex was declared insane, so know one will beleive him even if he says it you, right?" Lana asked hopefully.

"By the looks of this article, Lex isn't ever going to be released from Belle Reive. His metal functions arn't stable. No one that was sent to Belle Reive and knew Clarks secret has ever posed a threat to anyone knowing about Clark." Jonathon said. "No one would beleive them even if he is released." Clark felt better. They had a plan. Life would continue to be stable unless Lex was released. But they had time to think about that, but right now the only time he wanted to spend was with Lana. Martha could sence the tension and got up to 'clean the gutters' and 'water the poppys'. Clark stood up and guided Lana up to his loft.

Lana took Clarks hands in hers and looked into his eyes. "Wow, I have even knew your secret for a full day and it's already caused me trouble" she let out a small laugh. Clark looked deep into her eyes.

"Lana, you know that I would die if I ever let anything happen to you" he said. Lana nodded.

"I know" she said. "And I won't ever leave you, Clark. You've stolen my heart for good" Clark let out a little smile.

"You know, Lana, I've wished for the same thing ever since I was five." he smiled. Lanas face flew into a broad grin.

"And Now?" she asked knowing where this was going.

"And now I don't have to" he said pulling her close. "Because she standing right in front of me. And thats the way it was meant to be." Lana grinned from ear to ear as Clark pulled her in for a deep kiss.

"I love you" Clark said.

"I love you, too"

The lived happily ever after
